Meddings asked the right question.
"why would I pay for one if I had to wait 2 years - bet there's a loophole."
There is.
It's not hidden.
It's just never been put in writing where anyone could hold the government to it.

Search Bill 29 (SA 2026 c9) top to bottom -
There is NO CLAUSE REQUIRING private facilities to prioritize doctor-ordered tests over self-referred ones.
That promise exists nowhere the Minister is bound by it.

Ten Years After was one of the great bands in action between 1966 and 1975. Then ..
puff, they went up in smoke and never got back on track despite a 1983 reunion and later "resurrections".

Likely the highest point in their career, Woodstock 1969, with a scorching version of "I'm goin' home". Power blues withour a name. At the time Alvin Lee was on par with the likes of Clapton, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards and Page. Plus he could sing.
I'm 1975.

🚨 This may have just raised the bar for AI avatar models.
Mirage's Avatar X model captures nuanced human expression like never before.
It captures all of that with just 10 seconds of footage.
The difference is immediately noticeable. Just look for yourself:

The difference is immediately noticeable. Just look for yourself:
1/ The biggest weakness in most AI avatars isn't lip sync—it's authenticity.
While many models animate speech, their expressions remain flat.
Avatar X captures subtle facial reactions and body movements that make interactions feel genuinely lifelike.

2/ Genuine emotional expression is where most AI avatars fall short.
During laughter, many avatars simply keep lip-syncing.
Avatar X captures the full facial response—eyes, cheeks, and expressions move naturally with the emotion.
It delivers the same realism for yawning and crying.

NOBODY TELLS YOU HOW TO ACTUALLY BEAT THE S&P 500.
SO HERE IT IS.
(Write these down. Save them. Screenshot them.)
1: Buy quality only when it trades below its 200 week moving average.

Munger said if that was the only thing you ever did, you would beat the market over time.
That line is the long term trend. A real compounder dipping under it is usually a scare, not a broken business.

Avoid anything with heavy retail interest.
Retail as a group has the worst record in the market. The names they pile into tend to do the opposite of what they expect.
When the crowd is loud, the edge is already gone. Stay where it is quiet.

1/ Next Thursday, I will be delivering the Susan Shirk lecture at UC San Diego’s annual China conference.
2/ The question I was asked to address in the lecture is “Can the US and China Build a Stable Great-Power Relationship?”
3/ The good news is that the answer is yes. The bad news is that history shows that such an accomplishment is unlikely.
Hello everyone! Welcome back to my series on Kansas history! This is post 51 and today’s story is on a major aviation pioneer whose company still thrives in Kansas to this day, enjoy!
Clyde Cessna was born on December 5th, 1879 in Montgomery County, Iowa. When he was only two years old his family moved to Rago, Kansas in Kingman County west of Wichita. When he was an adult, he moved to Enid, Oklahoma and worked at a car dealership there. He moved to New York to work at the Queen Aeroplane Company after attending an air show in Kansas which gave him a new passion for flight and airplanes. In 1911 he constructed a plane called “Silverwing” which after multiple failed attempts had a successful 5 mile flight at the Great Salt Plains in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. This was the first airplane built and flown on the Great Plains. He continued developing airplanes through the 1910s including “The Comet” with which he set a new national airspeed record of 124.6mph on July 5th, 1917 as well as a new national distance record on the same flight of 76 miles between Blackwell, OK and Wichita, KS. With the start of World War I his income ground to a halt causing him to leave the field of aviation for nearly 8 years.
In 1925, Cessna along with Walter Beech (later creating Beechcraft) and Lloyd Stearman (later creating Stearman Aircraft) formed the Travel Air Manufacturing company in Wichita which rapidly became one of the leading aircraft manufacturers in the nation. Two years later the three men split up to form their own companies leading to Clyde Cessna and fellow aircraft pioneer Victor Roos creating the Cessna Aircraft Corporation. The company was an enormous success with 1000 planes being constructed in 1929 alone, but then the Great Depression struck. By 1931 they had declared bankruptcy and closed the company entirely and it would not reopen until 1934 when Cessna sold what remained of the company to his nephews Dwane and Dwight Wallace.
